REDUCE YOUR STATE TAXES

EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS


The Arizona Legislature passed a law in 1997 (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allowing Arizona taxpayers to contribute up to $400 for married couples and up to $200 for single taxpayers to a public school, and then deduct that entire amount from their state tax bill. It's a win-win situation for taxpayers and students!
Extracurricular activities are good for children and the community

The law says these donations must be used for extracurricular activities. With your help, Alhambra District is able to offer tutoring, band, music, art, recreational activities, and much more. You may choose the school and the activity you would like to support.

Extracurricular activities help children develop qualities such as leadership, team play, and cooperation, as well as provide safe, supervised activities after school hours. Thanks to you, these programs are available to all children in the Alhambra District.

If you anticipate a refund from the state, it would increase by the amount of your contribution, assuming you had that amount withheld.

A receipt will be provided for tax purposes. Donations must be received by December 31 in order to be eligible for the tax credit this calendar year.

Do it today!

Simply complete the downloadable form and mail it, along with your check, to the Alhambra School District or to one of the schools listed on the back of the response form or if you prefer, you can use your credit card to support the school of your choice. Just complete the credit card information required on the downloadable Tax Credit form, requires Acrobat Reader.

Alhambra LogoParents and non-parents are eligible.

This tax credit is available to all Arizona taxpayers regardless of whether or not they have children in school. A couple filing jointly can contribute $400 and receive a tax credit for a maximum of $400; an individual may contribute up to $200.
 
Tax credit vs. tax deduction.

A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the actual tax owed.

If you owe $800 in state income taxes and you donate $400 to a public school for extracurricular activities, you may subtract the $400 from your tax bill and pay the state just $400.

A tax deduction only reduces total taxable income.
